[Galaxy S I9000 General] ragin:
After having a few arguements with Damian, I have come to conclusion that its quite difficult to tell him even simple things. I @ he will always be on different pages no matter what the topic is.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] karan_k_blr:
Damian thinks he was drawn into providing sources in the name of GPL, however that was not the original intention. He says someone wanted to steal his code to make his own kernel better. Can you guess who he is accusing? It's Supercurio .. You must be frickin kidding me! :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seltaeb:
Probably Hardcore actually. I honestly don't know whether he feels anyone wants to 'steal' (re-use) his code or not,as you have mentioned -- but as per GPL they are allowed to do so if they want to, just as he has 'stolen' (re-used) rest of Linux/Android/Samsung's code in his derivative kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thedesolatesoul:
I believe what Damian is trying to say is that his code is unfinished.

Therefore unreleased.

Therefore only 'leaked' to testers on this forum.

So the xda-forum is his crib, his testing grounds...once he is happy to release it to the world, he will do so under GPL.

...so if you go to Samsung and ask them to provide you with their unfinished Gingerbread kernels, will they give it to you under GPL?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] karan_k_blr:
One post here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11951228&postcount=1935

Can't find right now, but there was another one before this. But he has said at least 2 times that someone wanted to steal. In fact, he has updated his first post that way!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reflux21:
oooh, i like this thread :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
I see someone understand.

I never say someone want to steel the code.

I say they could ask me insteed.

And yes I know who it was also that did make my tread locked and demanded my code. He could ask for it to me.

And yes it was supercurio. He did admitted it him self.

So all can stop talking on things they don't know anything about.

**DamianGTO ultimate kernel v1.1 * 600Hz * 350MB RAM * OC/UV * 1200MHZ**
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DamianGto:
Lol. Did you read that ;-)

Yes I know he does. A very nice brother you have. He is helping me alot.

**DamianGTO ultimate kernel v1.1 * 600Hz * 350MB RAM * OC/UV * 1200MHZ**
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seltaeb:
No, they probably won't and they don't have to because Samsung did not distribute the unfinished Gingerbread kernel. It was an unauthorized leak. Posting a derivative work in a public forum yourself (as DamianGTO has done) is however not a 'leak' -- it is simply distribution of the derivative work.

And yes, even if the forum requires membership (free or paid), it is still distribution. Otherwise, you should be able to post any other copyrighted content (say movies) within such a forum and claim you never distributed it.

I hope you can now appreciate the difference between 'leaking' and 'distributing' and therefore see the flaw in DamianGTO's (and your own) logic.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thedesolatesoul:
I understand the difference between leaking and distributing.

But you also need to understand the difference between an internal distribution and an external distribution.

If there is none, then samsung must release their head of tree code all the time. Infact provide an active link to whatever changes are being done to their codebase.

Damian considers the xda forum as testing grounds. He is not considering it part of the public world. Now, I dont know about the Forum Rules regarding this...

so I will just shut up!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ragin:
I find Saltaeb right here. You see, posting the source openly has its advantages. Maybe the Developer hasn't thought of/come across/ done that in his/her kernel but by posting it publicly, other wise guys can point mistakes/improvements back to you. How do you think supercurio got to know the file corruption bug in Sztupy's ULTK kernel? What if your kernel has a space for improvement & you aren't aware because you haven't see/heard/learnt other things?

What a person does & how he/she works is left entirely to them. I just find some developers are like Microsoft. Take everything anyone has to offer & sue them for any mistakes in their work.

PS : I remember a developer had problem crediting people whose work he has incorporated.

PS2 : Some people are born leaches.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seltaeb:
No need for you to shut up, this is a healthy debate and as long as everyone involved is civil about it, it's perfectly fine to express one's opinion :)

Mine happens to be that posting on a publicly accessible forum (i.e. anyone with an internet connection can access) would be deemed to be 'external distribution' as you have termed it -- I truly don't see how it can be considered to be otherwise.

/and consequently the source should be made available

//truthfully, I haven't and don't intend to use Damian's kernel -- so I will just leave it at this, thanks for playing though! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xan:
Attitude is overrated.

WIN thread.

- however -

I didnt read it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] C-o-M:
I guess there is a reason why voodoo is so much successful. It's not only in supercurio's kernel but also in many others...

Of course, no one has to publish his code here or on a website. But one has to give it to anyone who uses the work (the kernel in this case) and requests the sources. Even if it is another dev... I think the only way to prevent this is a closed beta testing. But the xda forum is far away from being "closed". So posting here is a kind of publishing. And no, the gpl doesn't care about finished or unfinished work. Only about distribution.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsunami1609:
Hi, I've been messing with android phones for a while now, and I've seen a couple things, one of which being temporary root for the MT4G. I have a NS, and I don't want permanent root (not for a little while anyways), but there are a few applications, like the honeycomb music player that I've come to love, that need root to install.

So I was wondering if anyone knew any ways to temporarily root a Nexus S. I just want temp root so that I could replace the stock music player and a few other basics. (I assume that when I reboot and lose root then I would still be able to use them)

Any help?

Thanks
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
No, theres so such thing as a temporary root for Nexus S and I don't see a reason for this.

For the MT4G / G2, it wasn't created to make a temporary root.

The root is now permanent, it wasn't permanent because when you reboot you would lose access to root. because of HTC's method.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] churro7:
I see a reason

That is to be able to back everything up then unlock boot loader and root (since it wipes eveerything)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iainbp:
How can u make the speaker louder. I know the speaker is ok . But is there anyway of making it louder?
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
So the phone was really low, at 6% this morning. SO I put it on the wall charger. I saw the icon come up that it was charging and then put the phone down.

A while later I went back to the phone and saw that although the charger was plugged in to the wall and also plugged into the phone, it was NOT charging.

Using the phone I went to my contacts to check a phone number and then it turned off, due to no charge.

I plug it into the wall charger, the USB connected to the computer, as well as the car charger and here is what happens:

The top and bottom of the phone blink red for about 1-3 minutes.

Without pressing anything on the phone it automatically turns itself on, I see the Sony Ericsson boot screen, the Windows boot screen then my SPB Mobil Shell screen for about a second and then it turns off again showing and the blinking red light for about 1-3 minutes and then it starts the process all over again.

I think that a setting for Backlight/Power management was changed. As setting similar to "Only charge with usb", or "only charge when connected with ActiveSync" or somthing like that.

The problem is that I turned off the Active sync on the phone in order to conserve battery power so that I could look up the phone number from my contacts. And after I did that the phone shut off and I cannot change it, because it will not charge.

I do not have a different, charged, battery to try and do not think that I can find one easily.

Any suggestions?
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
Now when I see that the phone is re-booting(I see the SE logo), I use the stylus to to soft reset. It is obvious that there is some type of charge happening before it re-boots, , otherwise it would not re-boot. SO my theory is that by doing a soft rest between restarts, the battery will gain more of a charge each time. And possibly have enough of a charge so that I can go into my settings and see the backlight/ power settings have been changed.
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
So I took a battery from my old SE 902 phone and rigged it to work with my X2.

It booted up just fine. I was able to get into the menu for power settings. Nothig was changed however I did check the box "do not charge when connected to the computer" backed out of that screen and then went back into the screen and unchecked the box.

I powered down the phone and the screen went to the default charging battery meter.

I then put the proper battery in the phone and it was still blinking red. I saw it blink green for a few seconds, then I felt it vibrate, and then I saw the green battery meter. But after a few seconds it went back to blinking red and I could not see the battery meter again.

This seems to be happening intermittenly. As of right now there is a green blinking light and I see a dimmed battery meter.

Hopefully it will be fine, we shall see.
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
So it was charging for a while and now has stopped. I see the battery meeter, but there is no green bar moving up. and the light has stopped blinking.

I unplugged the usb and I still see the battery meter with no green bar moving. Installed the back cover and plugged the usb back in.

Now it is back to the red blinking again. . . ? ? ? ? ?
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
I think that it is a battery issue.

CAn anyone suggest why a battery would all of a sudden stop working?
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
Just ordered a new battery. $70.00!!! Ouch!!!

It does come with a battery charger for use with a Mini USB, but still, $70.00 is a lot of money!!

I will update with the results after i charge it up.
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
I got the new battery and put it into the charger. As I mentioned in an earlier post the new battery came with a separate charger for use with a mini usb. At first I had problems. The charger would not charge the new battery. I was using a wall connected mini usb to power the charger. So I went to the computer and tried the mini usb from there. It still would not charge. So I took the battery out of the charger and put it into then phone and went back to the wall charger and it was charging. I could feel the phone vibrate and then saw the battery meter slowly fill with green and back to empty and then fill green again.

So I decided to do a few other chores around the house and went to check the charging status after about 10 minutes. I noticed that the phone was on!! I did not turn the phone on. No one else was in the house to turn it on. It was just on. Weird.

So I took the battery out of the phone and decided to try the new charger again with the computer mini USB. It

WAS

charging this time!! I charged the new battery on this charger using the computer mini USB until the red light(charging) turned green (finished charging) and then put it in the phone. It works fine.

I then decided to put the defective battery into this charger and it was actually charging!! I left it overnight and it was green this morning: identifying it as a full charge.

When the new battery is down to 10% or less I will take it out and put the defective battery in and see what happens.
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
So I put the original battery back in after the green light came on identifying a full charge on the accessory charger.

It showed 1% and a message came up identifying that "the battery is low, please charge asap", something like that.

So, in my unprofessional opinion :) , the original battery is toast.

The new battery worked great after its initial charge using the included accessory charger.

When I decided to charge it using the phone itself with the wall charger I noticed some really weird things happening.

First of all you should know that I downloaded and installed Spoon Charge. Look it up here on the forums, free and works great. It basically tells you what charge level you have, temperature of the battery, what voltage is coming in to charge it and also type of charge the battery is doing: trickle, fast, very fast and on battery.You can set it to read reading at specific time intervals: I have it set to read at every second.

I noticed that the charge kept bouncing between very fast and trickle. At one point it went to on battery, then to trickle then to on battery then to fast.

Ok. Weird. . . I thought to myself.

So I let it continue to charge overnight.

The next day I "tried" to use the phone. it was as slow as it was at it's factory installed settings before I did the memory card fix, accelerator settings, and other fixes that I forgot now have forgotten that I have installed.

At this point I decided to drain the battery as fast as I could by turning on WiFi, Bluetooth, and play a movie at the loudest volume possible. As soon as it reached 10% I took the battery out and charged it with the accessory charger. The next morning I saw that the indicator light was green showing full charge and installed the battery in the phone. It booted up and I immediately received a message that the battery was low, saw 1%.

Knowing that this was a BRAND NEW BATTERY, I turned off the phone and took the battery out and waited a few seconds until I put it back in and rebooted the phone.

This time it said 86% charge!!!!!!

WTF!!!!

So I tried to use the phone and it was as sluggish as before. After about 25 minutes it was starting to be a bit faster but nothing like it was before.

I am really confused now. Since I have a new battery I have ruled out that as a problem. So now is it the phone itself? Could it be the wall charger that is faulty?

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[XPERIA X2 General] xwing_5:
Another update.

I put the original battery in the phone and now it works!!!! The old battery that would not charge now charges and works!!!

The phone is not the same. Still really slow, can't get it out of the "LOCKED" position when I want to answer a phone call. Opera is sliggish then fast then sluggish. Not what I had the phone at before all of this started. It actually WAS stable. It WAS useable. Now I want to throw it into the drink!!!!!!

Not sure what to think anymore.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boraltis:
So I've flashed about 15-20 different ROMS on my Captivate. I used ODIN the first time. Every single time since then, I just did a TiBu, copied that to my external sd, and just downloaded the ROM straight to my phone and used ROM Manager. I never disabled lagfix or flashed back to stock. I also haven't had problems. (I bootlooped once, but that was when I tried to disable voodoo lagfix by creating the "disable-lagfix" folder in its directory.) Is this dangerous to my phone?

I ask because today I installed Firefly 2.4, and I read that the speedmod lagfix is disabled by default and needs re-enabled through recovery. When I did it, it did a full nandroid backup and restore. Is that normal? I've had very little experience with messing with the lagfixes.

[Legend General] Azaruc:
- Get visionary+

- Temproot your legend with it

- Use commandline with adb on your pc to flash misc1-2.img.

type the following commands from the folder where you have adb;

adb shell
su

accept the notification on your phone if one comes up

and then in the command line type this;

/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img

That should be enough to make it possible to run the 1.31 RUU.

and then?

I was wondering if anyone had one or could recommend one to me?

Ive heard the powertraveller range is quite good, but i dont know which one is compatible.

You will need a solar panel the size of a car roof to recharge the tab daily.

You want the Powertraveller Solar Gorilla, the Solar Monkey is too small. Good products though. used them for years. (Solar Monkey is charging my small battery pack right now!)

Edit: I've just tweeted them to make sure the Solar Gorilla will charge the Tab.

Edit edit: They're checking...
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] agentdr8:
You would need roughly a 15W panel @ 5VDC. But that's in full direct sunlight, with no charge controller or diode isolation; feeding directly into the Tab (probably not the best way to do it). A panel of that size would probably run you close to $300.
